Average is built upon an ancient Greek principle: “if in order to lighten a ship merchandize is thrown overboard, that which has been given for all
shall be replaced by the contribution of all. … What is given, or sacrificed, in time of danger, for the sake of all, is to be replaced by a general
contribution on the part of all who have been thereby brought to safety. This is a rule which … has been universal amongst seafaring men, no matter what
country they belong …”)
